Ukraine’s military is retreating from the city of Kurakhovo in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and a number of nearby villages due to a severe lack of personnel, ammunition, and plummeting morale, a Russian gunner from the crew of a BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket system revealed.

Ukraine Abandons Positions in Kurakhovo Amid Lack of Personnel, Ammunition, Low Morale
Russia's liberation of the strategic city of Kurakhovo in the DPR would spell disaster for Ukraine's forces, Russian military experts told Sputnik earlier.
Ukraine’s military is retreating from the city of Kurakhovo in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and a number of nearby villages due to a severe lack of personnel, ammunition, and
plummeting morale, a Russian gunner from the crew of a BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket system revealed.
Desperate attempts by the enemy to resupply ammunition, manpower, and equipment are being crushed with relentless firepower, the soldier from
Russia's fierce Battlegroup Yug added.
Kurakhovo has served as the lynchpin of Ukrainian defenses in the region, as it is only 46 kilometers (approx. 28.6 miles) away from Donetsk.
The city’s liberation would open the way for Russian troops to
Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), a key logistical hub for the Kiev regime.
